Default Been away!
Well I've been away from the fourm for awhile and for me that always means I've been doing lousy. I've gained 10 lbs back. I am starting new today. I'm not going to let this setback stop me.

That's right Howie, start fresh - forget that you're 20 lbs down from SW and pretend you woke up this morning having made a decision to lose some weight, as though it's a fresh idea you just came up with this morning. I do that often, trying to trick my mind into thinking it's something new and exciting so I never feel like I'm in a weight-loss routine or rut.

Hey Howie, congratulations on your decision to lose some weight, make sure you keep us up to date on your progress!

Welcome home! Remember, we're here to help you when you are doing lousy as well as when you're doing great.

I'm glad you're back and on track again, and aren't letting your setback derail you totally.

Have you ever noticed that I don't go away. If I am doing good or bad, I'm here. A while back I made myself a promise to keep coming to 3FC no matter if I was losing or gaining. I know that I do better if I come here. If I am gaining, then I know the motivation I need to get back on track will come in one form or another.

I'm glad your back - we are here for you good or bad.

Welcome back Howie!

we all have our lapses - the most important thing is that you've come back and are ready to start again.

Howie... I was thinking of you and wondering a couple of days ago ..how you were doing?..and then this morning..You are back...YEAH!!!...YOU HAVE COME A LOOONG WAY BABY! Hold yourself in high regard..and do this thing!

Howie...Have you heard the song "I CAN ONLY IMAGINE" By Merci Me (I know you have)...This song speaks to my heart in sooo many ways. It gives me chills and also gives me a feeling of hope everytime I lishen to it!..and I am FULLY aware that the true meaning of this song is to worship our higher power..but I know that MY higher power (GOD) wound not mind if I gain other strength from it also..so I imagine me...a healthy, skinnier ME!..and I feel the power of this song..and I cry..and I think of a healthier skinnier me looking upon the face of my child oneday and walking hand in hand with him or her.

Thank-you for making me have accountability today..I have not been "on plan" as I should for days!

WE CAN IMAGINE!.......Kim
